    Happy New Year! My name is Adina and I live in Toronto, Canada. I have a three year old boy and can relate to those who say it can be hard to find the time to dedicate to losing weight. My goal is to lose 15 - 20 pounds. I look forward to the encouragement I gain through doing this group challenge.

    Hi there! My name is Karen and I am from Statesboro, GA. I have an almost 4 month old baby girl and am a FTM. I gained 25lbs with my pregnancy and have lost all but 5 of it. I'd like to lose those 5 and tone up, more specifically my calves, thighs, and glutes! Looking forward to this group challenge. Excited to learn more details.

    Hey there! My name is Brooke and I live in Alexandria, VA. My baby girl, Aubrey, will be 3 months on January 13th. I only gained about 20lbs when I was pregnant because I lost almost 15 in my first trimester due to morning sickness. ugh. I am close to my pre-baby weight but my body definitely does not look the same haha. I was wanting to lose weight before I got pregnant anyway. I am hoping to lose 10-15 lbs and really need to work on toning legs, gluts, and abs. It has been hard for me to stick to a routine in the past and stay motivated so I am looking forward to having the accountability of this challenge and support group! Happy New Year!

    Hi, my name is Lynette and I live in a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa. I am 33 and have two boys, ages 4 and 6 and was introduced to this program by a coworker that just had a new baby. In fact, a group of ladies at my job have decided to do this starting Monday. We are all night shift nurses in a Maternity Center and shift work, babies, etc has made losing weight a bit of a challenge. A little more about me. I am down about 90 lbs from my highest weight, but still have a little over 50 to go and I have been stuck for several months and my weight even started creeping back up a little. I work weekend nights at the hospital and am completing my Master's Degree and all of life's distractions have caused me to put my weight/fitness on the back burner. But, I refuse to undo the progress that I have made. So, let's do this.

    Hello! My name is Karyn and I have one daughter, Isabelle, who is almost 16 months old. I am a teacher and just completed my Masters degree in December for teaching elementary school. I'm 27 years old and I have been struggling with weight pretty much all my life. I am addicted to sugar and diet coke, both I am well aware are bad for me. Now that my daughter eats regular food, I made a conscious effort to only give her healthy meals with very little processed foods. I'm trying to make this transition myself, but it is difficult with a husband that is a very picky eater. I have PCOS so losing weight is even more difficult for me than most. I have tried weight watchers with no success and I have tried out plexus slim. I like how it made me feel (more energized, less cravings for sweets), but I just can't spend that much for only 30 days worth of

    ...stuff. I want to lose the baby weight, but mostly I want to increase my physical activity. I also want to change my eating habits. I need your help, mommies! I have very little motivation and not a lot of support here, just negativity and a husband who burns through calories faster than I can blink.

    Hi mommies! I'm a new mom in Alexandria, VA with a beautiful baby boy who will be two months old on January 5th. I was overweight before pregnancy and barely gained any weight because of lots of morning sickness throughout, but after a c-section with a rough recovery, I'm only down 6 pounds from my pregnancy weight. I'll be going back to work in about a month and am looking for a balance between family, work, and getting back into shape! Always happy to get together with other mommies for a baby friendly workout!

    Hi Ladies! My name is Jan and my daughter is 8 months old. I spent the two years before I got pregnant losing weight and managed to drop 60 pounds. I gained a little back before getting pregnant and then the rest once pregnant. I haven't lost any since having my daughter and am desperate to get back into my healthy eating habits and an exercise routine that doesn't take me away from my daughter.

    Hello! I'm Jessica and I live in Northern Va (Lorton). I am a FTM to a 5 month old girl. Due to bad morning sickness, I only gained 10 lbs during pregnancy and lost that immediately upon returning home from the hospital. However, I was the heaviest I've ever been prior to getting pregnant so am looking to get back to my previous comfort zone, about 20-30 pounds total. And, as you all know, everything shifts when you have a baby so none of my clothes fit me anymore!! I'm looking forward to this challenge!

    Is it too late to join?? Hope not (: So my name is Linsey, and I'm a SAHM from northeastern Pennsylvania. I have two sons, ages 12 & 13. I have hypothyroidism. About 7years ago, I got my meds right and was able to lose 65lbs. I had a hard time keeping it off and my weight has slowly inched up. Last year, my youngest son was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It's been a long battle but he is almost done with all his chemo treatments and is in remission. Needless to say, there was a lot of stress eating and inactivity, sitting inpatient at the hospital with my son. I have gained back everything I previously lost plus some. I know what I need to do, I just lack the accountability to keep doing it. I'm hoping this will be the thing that keeps me going.... Now I'm off to find the measuring tape (:

    Hi BBM's! I'm Susie. Married with 2 kids & 2 dogs. Lost a ton of weight on PINK method after kid #1 but just can't get back into it. Thought I'd try something different. I will also be following a paleo diet w/o nuts or chocolate as I'm trying to heal eczema on my hands.

    Hello all! I just discovered Bikini Body Mommy last week and I'm so excited! I have two children (ages 4 and almost 2). I am a 5th grade teacher in a town about 35 miles northwest of Green Bay (although I'm originally from Long Beach, CA). I have never been skinny, but, I was a much healthier me when I was younger and I managed to almost get to my healthy weight between children. I lost about 25 pounds this past spring, but, with the stress of my job I have gained it all back. :( My husband also has quite a bit of weight to lose, so, he's going to be doing the workouts with me! I can't wait to be a healthier mom and a happier person!

    Hi everyone! I am so excited to see a group up to doing this challenge!

    Well my name is Lisa and I live in sunny South California. I have two daughters: Damaris age 3, Elianna age 9 months. After giving birth and seeing pictures of myself I was disgusted by my looks. A black dress that I "thought" was slimming showed off all the baby weight I had gained. I was 196lbs in high school and after giving birth to my second daughter I was at 235. After working out and logging my food I am back at 196lbs! But my goal weight is 130.

    Add me, I'm always looking for mommies as motivation and accountability.

    Hi, I'm Caroline, also from DC!
    DS is 6.5 mo, and DD is 3. I'm a SAHM. I'm doing BBM in conjunction with a Couch to 5k program.
    I was super fit when I got pregnant with DS. I got into running and MFP when DD was about 1. Looking to get back to that place--I never felt better! 20-25lb is my goal.

    Hi I'm Krista, I'm the proud momma of a 5 month old boy. Between working full time, being a wife, mommy, and pumping Im finding it hard to lose this baby weight. I used to run 3 times a week, lift weights and had a strict gluten free/primal diet. That's out the wind since I had the little one. I love being a mom but miss the old me and am looking forward to funding her again

    Hi!
    I am Sam! Sam I Am! No I don't like green eggs and ham, because I am a vegan. lol B)
    I have a smart, beautiful daughter who will be turning three in March. :)
    I previously lost all the weight, then gained it do to falling back on bad habits. :'(
    I am happily married on days I don't contemplate homicide. :p
    I like lists and emojis/emoticons. >:)
    I currently work from home for a company that is going out of business. So I am currently, kind of looking for a new job. Whatever happens, happens I guess. :\
    I have a weird sense of humor and am usually that weird bubbly chick that everyone likes but can't quite figure out why. o:)
